A more realistic, more natural history, without exaggerations. The script is well written, distributing balanced enough interesting content in all the episodes, without falling into exaggerations. A bit of small business, stories of love, friendship, solidarity, with humor. The team of actors is made up of experienced veterans, but also young actors, at that time at the beginning such as Kim Seon Ho and others. Chae Soo Bin has a demanding role, in which he shows his talent to express different emotions, he goes from hardness and hopelessness in society, a bit of martial arts, strikes more or less delicately 😂, humor then reaches feelings and more feminine approaches than the beginning as an independent woman. Go Kyung-Pyo also does a good role, like everyone else. It's the series with the highest density of shining eyes on the screen, the cinematography would have had something to do with it😍. There would be many things to note, but the best is to see. It doesn't bore you, it doesn't keep you in suspense for nothing, it's the work of a team that does exactly what it has to do, to entertain the audience. For me, as a European, they succeeded.

I can't call this drama '' Fun '' and do it justice, this is one of the best korean dramas, I've never been so entertained and i even laughed out loud several times. The only reason i started watching it, is because of the actor Kim Seon Ho from '' Start up '' and luckily for me i wasn't disappointed

Here's a fable for the underdogs.

SDM follows the overlooked, everyday workers. They deliver when ☃ in winter, and 🔥 in summer, 💦 in spring, and through the lugubrious fall🍂. They are sneered more than cheered. SDM finds them forming a supportive group that gives them all a lift.

Kang-soo is the catalyst. He turns friends and acquaintances into family. His formed-family is contrasted against several actual families in the show that tear eachother apart. The family we choose is often the best we can get.

Kang-soo shows up in town and lands a job at Lively Handmade Noodles. From there, he deconstructs the whole delivery system and then rebuilds it, all while outsmarting the powerful corporate eateries. The storyline is entertaining, though formulaic. I don't see formulaic as the worst criticism, necessarily. Life, and our shared human experience, is usually formulaic. It's the journey that is most important. The journey you will take with this crowd is fun, like a Disney Channel show.

This would be a good show to watch with kids as soon as they can keep up with the subtitles. It reinforces hard work, honor, helping others and living right. In exemplifying all the above, Kang-soo is a perfect role model. He makes loyal friends out of strangers by helping others. He inspires Ji-yoon to follow suit.

The primary romance falls slightly flat. I'm not sure if the cause is the dialogue, the directing, or just a lack of seasoning. Perhaps it's a little of all the above. The secondary characters' relationship is a better story.

SDM is best suited for tweens and teens, and parents won't mind watching along. It is a simple story in the After School Special tradition, and solidly PG/PG-13.

A delivery driver keeps moving every two months to a different area in Seoul to find his mother who swindled him and his father then deserted them. He ends up living and working in an alley filled with restaurants which suddenly has a large conglomerate food company move in which plans to put them all out of business. He ends up leading them in a fight for survival and finds love along the way. I Liked the girl but was not convinced by the male lead and was more interested in some of the side characters. Probably a 6.5 as it's an ok watch which hopefully reminds everybody that delivery drivers deserve respect and should not be looked down on.

I loved their bickering, making fun of each other, and helping each other through tough times. Honestly, every second while watching the drama I was waiting for their appearance.
